Being serious here: Is there anything we can do to make sure they don’t come back in the lame duck session and run through all kinds of crazy stuff? Cap & Trade, Stimulus II, a complete overthrow of the government?

We need to keep as much pressure as possible on the Democrats.

The more shocking the size of massive Republican victories at the Federal, State and Local levels on November 2, the harder it will be for Pelosi to convince her fellow Democrats to vote for bills that will cause even more long term damage to the Democrat Party.

We need to be fighting hard for every single seat at every single level to make sure the Democrats understand that Pelosi’s policies have a negative impact on ALL Democrats.

When current Congresspeople and Senators come home to campaign, make sure surprisingly large crowds of people show up (with video cameras so they can share the experience) to make it very clear that the public is against Cap & Tax and whatever else they may try to pass in the lame duck session.

We also need to be ready to begin work on the 2012 campaigns on November 3rd to remind the Congresscritters who remain in office that they will have another tough election on the horizon if they don’t listen to their constituents.

The American People are extremely powerful when they show up, work hard, and make it perfectly clear what their opinions are.

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:31:54 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=108842#comment-3919228I had a friend who worked on monetary policy in a certain Third-World basket-case of a country. At the end of the day, we would sit around, get drunk, and tell stories.

One day he was telling me he had met with the local Minister for Long Term Economic Planning and Development. The country was in a bit of a crisis because they had run out of money, and the foreign printer was demanding to be paid in hard currency, so the shipment of currency would be delayed a week. During the meeting, the Minister for Long Term Economic Planning said, “If we can just make it through next Tuesday, we’ll be fine.”

We had a pretty good laugh at that, and went on to get thoroughly drunk in the Minister’s honor. I never thought I would see the day when our betters in Washington started saying the same thing… “If we can just make it through a month from next Tuesday, we’ll be fine…”
Pathetic.

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:32:37 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=108842#comment-3919054I wish the fact that they are not going to be in session mattered, with this administration it just means more dirty dealings, recess appointments,EPA takeovers,Land grabs, executive orders, they are moving so quickly and destuctively I hope we have until Nov.

I don’t know who said that “Congress is Irrelevant” but it is certainly true with this Admin.

Oh wow! Ya’ll are gunna like this one. I don’t know if everyone will agree, but I sure do. Even if someone disagrees, it’s certainly food for thought. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this before November.

Filibuster everything in the Senate until January, to respect the will of the voters. If McConnell can hang on to Scott Brown and the Maine Plain Janes, the lame duck session can do no harm.

The up side of an extended vacation is that when they are out of washington, they can’t spend our money!

Except that they can’t extend the Bush tax cuts if they’re adjourned. Oops, I should watch my language. They can’t extend the tax cuts from the previous administration.

If he wants to be Speaker, Boehner should speak loudly and clearly on this issue!

Not trying to be paranoid, but what stands between them and doing just that?

OH, and Christine O’Donnell should she win, will be seated immediately not in January. In case you didn’t know that.
